In episode 2 the question of whether ethics is grounded on religion was introduced, and the role of reason in both religion and morality was posed. Examples were taken from 16th century India and 18th century Europe and America. However, the philosophical question of whether ethics can and should be grounded on religion was left unanswered. In this third episode we turn to the Greek Enlightenment of the 5th century B.C. and to Plato's analysis in his dialogue Euthyphro.
